Northern Precision's new headquarters in Doncaster is near to reality as its purpose-designed GBP 500,000 facility on the Westmoor Park industrial zone undergoes final fit-out.
After months of planning and negotiation, as well as red tape discussions, Northern Precision's dream of moving into stylishly new and industry-leading headquarters in Doncaster is near to reality as its purpose-designed GBP 500,000 facility on the Westmoor Park industrial zone undergoes final fit-out.
With specially constructed administration and sales offices complemented by "flowline" product receipt/quarantine, storage and despatch areas, as well as dedicated product inspection and meeting/training facilities, the new building offers a total floor area of 750m2 and, when complete, will be unrivalled in the fastener supply sector.
The new-look operation will reinforce the company's position as a leading specialist single-source supplier of sheet metal fasteners as well as special-purpose turned and cold-formed parts, as Northern Precision's traditional policies of superlative customer service and support will be seamlessly transferred the short distance to the new site.
Describing how sophisticated IT support systems and procedures, complemented by high-speed communications networks, enable Northern Precision to offer unmatched levels of responsive fastener supply and application engineering support - to generate cost-down benefits for users across all industry sectors - Sales Director Steve Smith also points out that the new headquarters will enable the BS EN ISO9001:2000-accredited operation to set in motion further progressive plans for the company's strategic development.
"Our new facility will be the springboard for more exciting news", he says, "and, as always, these developments will be driven by our ability to identify, then satisfy, the needs of our customers and our growing network of overseas distributors".
Already maintaining an extensive variety of 5000 in-stock standard line items covering most applications and materials - the company supplies self-clinching fasteners, rivet bushes, sheet nuts, high-strength and broaching fasteners, weld nuts and studs, cage nuts and blind rivets, as well as special turned and cold-formed components to customer requirements - Smith adds that there is no reason why this portfolio cannot be expanded even further.
"We've always said that successful fastener supply is based on exceeding customer demands in terms of both piece part cost and application requirements", he comments.
"We now have the extra space and facilities to take that philosophy to the next, even higher level".
